"Dignified and beautiful, these coupe and convertible forms of the classic W111 fintail Mercedes-Benz hold a special allure for many. This car has a good potential."

Description

It was delivered new to Å Ohlssons Metall & Mekaniska Verkstad AB on Thulegatan in Stockholm in March 1970 by Philipssons Norr Bil AB. The car remained within the company’s owner family through the first owner, his wife, and their son until autumn 2022 when the car was sold at auction. The current owner bought it then as a dream car from his youth. He has performed some mechanical work on it but hasn’t driven it much, totaling around 100 kilometers. The most recent and last approved inspection was conducted on August 8, 2017.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts easily, purrs smoothly, the gearbox shifts softly, and the brakes engage properly. The current owner recently installed a new brake servo. He also felt that the car sat too low at the rear and fitted a missing transverse spring in its original mounts on the rear axle. Originally, there likely was a hydropneumatic unit, an additional feature instead of the spring known as the Hydropneumatic Compensator. It’s not uncommon to replace these with the simpler spring setup. Additionally, the owner added rubber spacers to the standard coil springs at the rear. As a result, the car now has a slight wheel camber in the rear suspension, but removing the rubber spacers would likely restore its stance to be precise and aesthetically pleasing.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior features a stylish, nicely worn dark red leather upholstery with some stitching that needs attention. The headliner is in good condition with a sunroof. There are additional controls on a custom-made console for features like intermittent wipers and extra electric cooling fans. The original carpets have a worn patina; ideally, the car deserves a new floor carpet in its original material.

  • Exterior condition:

    Repainted from a bare metal body in 2016, and there is a slight color variation noticeable between the left door and the front/rear fenders. Nice chromework and the older tyres on its original steel rims have good tread. The electric sunroof requires a little manual assistance when opening and closing; lubricating the cable would be beneficial.

  • General condition:

    Functional and representative with some cosmetic improvements to be made. It feels and appears mechanically reliable, likely not shying away from long trips and the general impression is a user friendly condition.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
